Introduction to Geo-hazards in Deep Water and Associated with Exploration Around Salt

March 5th, 2014 by Susan Nash

Interested in learning more on the hazards of deepwater exploration? John Dribus, a Global Geosciences Advisor for Schlumberger with over 39 years of experience in petroleum exploration, will present an overview on this topic. Dribus will discuss the geo-hazards associated with deepwater system exploration and what human interactions may do to provoke unpredicted disturbances of these sub-surface environments. This presentation is part of Deep Horizon and Deepwater Frontier Exploration in Latin America and the Caribbean GTW and will be taking place Tuesday March 11, 2014 in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.

The Deep Horizon and Deepwater Frontier Exploration in Latin America and the Caribbean GTW will share the worldwide attention that is attracted to Latin America and the Caribbean as exploration of Cretaceous targets continues into frontier areas, especially within the deep water Caribbean/Atlantic margin. Challenges lie not only in identifying targets but also in establishing ways to commercialize them. Current understandings of the environmental impact, depth to target formations, technological considerations and production methods, will benefit from focused discussions by regional experts utilizing case studies to highlight the most recent developments in these fields.
